Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. (2 Corinthians 3:17) I often thought that if I could have everything and do anything—because time and money were no object—I would experience total and deeply satisfying freedom.

You Don’t Need to Stress-out Trying to Make Everyone Happy
For years, I felt the stress of turning the world upside down to make sure those around me were happy.

It was an exhausting, impossible task, and for a long time […]
Reflecting God’s Glory Has Eternal Significance
I had been a Christian for more than fifteen years before I ever comprehended the truth that the greatest purpose of my life was to glorify God. My first response wasn’t worship. It was suspicion.
